Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego

Outline 1: What's in a Name?-- We are called all sorts of things in our lives, from our given names to nicknames to social categories and slurs. But the name that matters most is what God calls us. Is God calling you, "Lost one, come home to Me"? Or, does God call you, "My child, adopted into My family."? (Daniel 1)

Outline 2: Kingdoms on Parade--Although the future is known only to God, we can rest assured that God's will will ultimately be done, and we can participate in God's eternal kingdom. (Daniel 2)

Outline 3: Culture Warriors--We can stand firm in our faith even in the face of popular culture and personal doubts. (Daniel 3:1-18 [Ephesians 4:17-5:20])

Outline 4: Faith Under Fire-- God's people have the resources to remain faithful in even the most difficult circumstances because God will be there with us to strengthen, comfort, and support. (Daniel 3:16-30)
